That's some expensive tape right there. This is anisotropic conductive film that cures under heat and pressure, resulting in a permanent bond. I think I'll pass and go for the cheaper (~100 USD/roll) stuff that works just like normal sticky tape and doesn't require heat, but requires larger pad size (~1x2mm vs. ~0.5x0.75mm IIRC).

For added fun, these ACF tapes have a shelf life that's only between six months and two years, and the heat-curing type even needs to be refrigerated.
